Does dyspraxia affect intelligence?

Dyspraxia does not affect intelligence. Children with dyspraxia have average or above-average intelligence, but motor coordination difficulties can make it harder to show their abilities in traditional school settings. Sometimes, difficulties with handwriting, organisation, or memory can lead teachers to underestimate a child’s potential. With the right support, children with dyspraxia can achieve just as highly as their peers.
